Livin' my life on the farm

Hey all!

I've noticed that it's been a while since I last posted.  Getting kinda lazy I am! lol So what's been going on around here lately hasn't been too terriably much. Last week my Grampa came down to visit for a few days, he had surgery so he was resting up at our place. Not really. He can't keep himself still for 2 minutes. Honestly. He was out to the barn with us every time we had chores and he was doing what he could to help my other Grampa clean out the chicken coop.lol  It was really nice to have him down though. He said he might come down for Easter dinner. We usally don't do nothing too big for Easter but if Grampas coming we might do something a little more special. Also while Grampa was down I noticed one of Rue's(my horse that Grampa gave me) front upper teeth was real dark and loose. Grampa took a look at it and said her tooth had died and to watch her real close to make sure she don't get an abcess. Ahh! My baby with an abcess in her mouth, that would be awful! He went back home and talked to one of his horse friends about it and this fella reminded him that horses loose thier first set of teeth between the ages of 1 and 3 years old. *sigh* So my Rubie will be just fine.

We have only 3 more ewes to lamb and then we will be done lambing for the year!! Yay!!! They arn't due for another week or so. So we have time to rest up agian. Our bottle lambs are down to 4 feedings a day. It still takes a long time to feed them though. About 30min to make all of the milk and then 30-45 min to feed them all. But we are down to 25 bottle lambs. Big improvement from 27 huh?! lol Our two oldest are now weaned. Which they are none to happy about. They now jump the fence and come up to the house looking for their bottles.

Mom was reading blogs last night and came across queenofquitealot's entry Do You Have Heart Room? . It just breaks your heart seeing children in such distress.  We've been interested in adopting but honestly don't have the money to go thru the paper work. Maybe when I move out and mom and dad don't have my expences then they could afford it.

Tonight we(me and my 2 sisters) are going in to practice our song that we have to sing for Easter. Getting pretty nervous! But I'm sure after some more practice we'll get thru it fine.

Well I need to get going. I havn't eaten breakfast yet and my tummy is sure letting me know about it!
